We found that the vast majority of users preferred routing in Dante Controller rather than RedNet Control. As a result, routing has been removed from RedNet Control, allowing us to focus development and support on adding new features.

Consequently there is no need for host mode which has also been removed.

When closing RedNet Control, the user will be asked to confirm this action. This prevents inadvertent interruption of an MIDI session which is active.

Devices will now appear in alphanumeric order.

DVS & RedNet PCIe will now appear as devices on screen, confirming they are present and correct on the network.

OS X – RedNet Control will now stay in dock when window is closed.

Important notes

The RedNet PCIe driver is only compatible with the latest firmware.

It is important to note that installing new firmware on to any RedNet Unit can take some time, please DO NOT turn the unit off or interrupt the firmware installation - Units will be unresponsive during this process.

RedNet Control 1.7 will prompt users to upgrade their firmware to version v947 (Bkn-1)/ 947 (Bkn-2).

Firmware older than v947 (Bkn-1)/ 947 (Bkn-2) firmware will not be compatible with RedNet Control 1.6 or earlier.

During firmware updates, DO NOT add or remove devices on your Dante network.

Known Issues

Mac Only: RedNet Control cannot do two consecutive firmware updates. After the first run of firmware updates, please shut down RedNet Control and reopen to upgrade firmware on second wave of units.

Defaults message from Pro Tools does not clear linked channels on RedNet 4.

It's possible for RedNet Control GUI to display values of 1–7dB for RedNet 4 when controlled via SysEx. The gain on the unit will still be 0dB or 8dB.

During installation, a dialog can appear from Audinate's "Dante Control and Monitoring Installer" about firewall settings on Windows 8. Please manually confirm your firewall settings allow Dante Control & Monitoring through the firewall.

When renaming a unit in Dante Controller, RedNet Control will not show this until it has been rebooted.

Windows Only: Long device & channel names in RedNet Control will overflow the text boxes.

Windows Only: MIDI settings will only be stored between sessions if running with elevated privileges.
